Yesterday, initramfs-tools was upgraded to version 0.140ubuntu13.4, but this version has since been removed from repos again, and now it’s version 0.140ubuntu13.2.
This poses a couple of questions:
Is there information anywhere about why this release was rolled back?
Is it recommended to manually downgrade to 0.140ubuntu13.2?
This is the relevant snippet of the apt log from unattended upgrades:
Ok so this wasn’t due to any bugs, but simply due to bad timing - so there’s no problem in leaving version 0.140ubuntu13.4 on the system now that it’s installed?
The possibility of having a problem with the version currently in -proposed is low, but not nonexistent. If you’re experiencing problems with it, please file a bug and downgrade to the version that’s currently in the release pocket. Otherwise, if everything is working as expected, then it is not a problem to keep the version from -proposed installed. It will soon migrate to the release pocket anyway.
